What made you decide
to start your own business? I got tired of all the
politics in the health
care setting. It is difficult to do your job well and
deal with the politics.

How many times have you changed employers in your career? 9

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses
especially
qualified to operate a business? Autonomy. We are trained to
both operate
independently and interdependently. Since we are able to do
both, we are
well suited for the business world. We have also learned to
separate our
feelings from the facts. In the LNC world, I can look at
records, and
even though it may be a horrible case (outcome-wise) I can
objectively
see if there was or was not malpractice involved. My feelings
for the
claimant don't cloud my objectivity.

Do you currently practice as a nurse? If yes in what type of setting?
Not
clinically, if that's what you mean.

Alabama Board of Nursing:"Nursing evolved from an informal and unregulated practice for centuries. Leaders such as England's Florence Nightingale, considered to be the founder of modern nursing, saw a need to formalize education and set high standards for practice. In America, nursing leaders saw not only a need to formalize education and set high standards for nursing practice, but to seek regulation through government and hold individuals accountable for their practice."
